Inter prepare record bid for Manu Kone as Roma midfielder becomes priority target

Inter Milan are ready to make a bold move for Manu Kone, with the AS Roma midfielder now viewed as a leading target for the summer transfer window.

The Nerazzurri have been following the 24-year-old closely since last year and plan to intensify talks once the current campaign ends under Cristian Chivu.

Reports in Italy claim Inter are willing to table an offer in excess of €40 million, though Roma are expected to push for closer to €50 million before agreeing to any deal. Such a fee would represent Inter’s biggest investment since the €43 million signing of Achraf Hakimi in 2020, highlighting how highly the club rate the dynamic French midfielder.

Inter’s pursuit may not be straightforward, with Paris Saint-Germain also monitoring Kone’s situation ahead of the summer.

A strong display at the 2026 FIFA World Cup could further inflate his price and draw more elite clubs into the race, increasing pressure on Inter to move quickly if they want to secure their man.
